Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Yazeed: (reponse To Some Salfis’ Endeavors To Purify Him) Was Yazeed's khilafat rightful? Abu Sulaiman al Nasibi in his article on Mu'awiya had tirelessly sought to canvass for his Imam Yazeed's right to rule by stating: Ansar.org states:Many gave him the allegiance as well. Al-Hafedh Abdulghani Al-Maqdisay says: "His (Yazeed's) caliphate is rightful, sixty of the companions of the prophet peace be upon him gave him the allegiance.

IbnUmar was one of them." [Qayd Al-Shareed min Akhbar Yazeed, by Ibn Khaldoun, p.70] The concept of ijma is null and void since Allah (swt)'s opposition to the bayya to Yazeed can be proven from the Qur'an Here we shall rely upon the following sources of Ahl'ul Sunnah and their commentaries of Surah Baqarah verse 124 (Yusuf 'Ali transliteration): "And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled: He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the Nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers." We will rely on the following classical Sunni tafseer's to understand how the leading Sunni Ulema interpreted this verse.

Tafseer Khazana volume 1 page 89 Ma'am al Tazeel Volume 1 page 89 Fathul Qadeer Volume 1 page 140 Faseer Mudharik al Tazeel Volume 1 page 84 Tafseer Durre Manthur Volume 1 page 118 Tafseer Jama al Mubeen Volume 1 page 118 Tafseer Gharab al Qu'an Volume 1 page 439 Tafseer Ibn Katheer Volume 1 page 167 Ahkam al Quir'an Volume 1 page 69 Tafseer al Kabeer Volume 1 page 494 Let us first of all see what Allah (swt) says in Surah Baqarah verses 124: In Tafseer Khazana volume 1 page 89 we read as follows: "Allah (swt) said to Ibrahim (as) that we have made the condition of Imamate to be the same as that of Prophethood, that he who amongst your descendants is Dhaalim cannot attain it".

The verse clearly guarantees Imamate to be administered, but NOT to those that are unjust. The Ahl'ul Sunnah Ulema in their tafseers have defined Dhalimoon (pronoun of the noun Dhaalim) as kufr and fisq (transgression). Both of these traits were inherent in Abu Sulaiman's Imam Yazeed ibn Mu'awiya.
